The Colts had to get their 53-man roster official before 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday and as they did that, there were some notable names that were either released or waived.

Per the Colts:

The biggest news came in the form of a trade, however. The Colts traded third-year wide receiver and former first-round pick Phillip Dorsett to the New England Patriots for quarterback Jacoby Brissett just hours before the deadline.

Among the notable cuts include defensive tackles David Parry and T.Y. McGill. The former had started every game for the Colts over the past two seasons but after a controversial offseason starting with an arrest in February, he found himself deep on the depth chart.

With the Colts drafting Grover Stewart in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft and signing big-ticket free agent Johnathan Hankins, there wasn’t enough room for McGill to reprise his role as an interior pass rusher.

Whoa!

Something went wrong.

The Colts also are currently carrying four quarterbacks on the active roster as Luck was restored from the PUP list in addition to the acquisition of the aforementioned Brissett.

It doesn’t seem likely that the Colts will be carrying four quarterbacks throughout the season and because they traded Dorsett for Brissett, one of Scott Tolzien or Stephen Morris is either on the way out.

Waivers don’t go through until Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET so there is a good chance that the roster the Colts bring into Los Angeles looks very different than the one that was announced on Saturday.
